16 Things you should not be saying to a photographer

Everyone thinks they are a photographer these days and can’t wait to share their knowledge with the nearest professional. These make me laugh and I have heard many of these over the last 30 years or so 🙂

Your camera takes really nice pictures!

You shouldn’t be using flash it’s not even dark

Can’t you just photoshop that?

I want to invite you to my event, you should bring your camera!

If I had a camera like that I could take the same photos you do.

That Camera must make you a great photographer!

Your job is so easy, all you do is click a button all day!

My phone takes better pictures than your camera.

Can you take your watermark off the photos on your website? my mom wants to print them.

Why is the background blurry like that?

I only need a few photos taken, is that cheaper?

What’s the discount if I edit the pictures myself? I use Picasa!

Photography’s easy, the camera does all the work.

£100 an hour so if I only need you for 15 minutes that would be £25? I only budgeted for £20 can you do it for that

What do you mean minimum of one hour I only need a photography for 10 minutes?

If you shoot my event for free I know you will get lots of work on the back of it!
